Got a new puppy and need assistance with socialization? Does your dog behave perfectly at home but forget their manners in public? A Field Trip is the ideal solution! Practicing skills and gaining exposure in public settings is essential for reinforcing and generalizing behaviors, as well as building confidence and independence in young dogs and puppies. Field Trips are great for aiding with puppy socialization or for training in real-world environments with a skilled professional.

 

Field Trips occur at local pet-friendly stores and are one-on-one with your dog and the trainer. Pick-up and drop-off can happen either at your home or at the Field Trip location. 

​

• Is comfortable riding in a car in either a crate or a seatbelt

• Is comfortable working in a public setting without their owner present

Disclaimers:

• This is NOT a dog walking or pet sitting service. The purpose of Field Trips is to continue building on existing skills and to provide support in socializing new puppies.

• Field Trips occur inside pet-friendly stores, and we need to be respectful of the business and the people shopping there. For this reason, if your dog at any point during the Field Trip is displaying behavior that is disruptive to the business (e.g., uncontrollable barking, marking inside the store, etc.), we have the right to end the Field Trip early without refund and remove your dog from the environment.
